A company specialising in wireless content transfer in the US has hit Sony, Nintendo and Nokia with lawsuits claiming infringements on patents relating to the wireless transfer of content on handheld gaming consoles and mobile phones.

Edge reports this week on a court filing from February 13 that "shows that Plano, Tex.-based Wall Wireless LLC is suing Sony, Nintendo, Nokia and related companies including Sony Computer Entertainment America and Nintendo of America for allegedly infringing upon U.S. patent 6,640,086, named "Method and Apparatus for Creating and Distributing Real-Time Interactive Media Content Through Wireless Communication Networks and the Internet.""

Wall Wireless claims that its own patented invention "pertains ... to methods and systems that allow an operator to distribute messages having aural or visual content that is generated by the operator using handheld apparatuses such as mobile telephones."
